From Wikipedia
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist widely considered one of the greatest physicists of all time. While best known for the theory of relativity (and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E=mc2), he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1905 (Annus Mirabilis) explanation of the photoelectric effect and “for his services to Theoretical Physics”. In popular culture, the name “Einstein” has become synonymous with great intelligence and genius.(more)

Einstein's Biggest Blunder

Reflections of a Modern Genius

If we consider that part of the theory of relativity which may nowadays in
a sense be regarded as bona fide scientific knowledge, we note two aspects
which have a major bearing on this theory. The whole development of the
theory turns on the question of whether there are physically preferred states
of motion in Nature (physical relativity problem). Also, concepts and distinctions
are only admissible to the extent that observable facts can be assigned
to them without ambiguity (stipulation that concepts and distinctions
should have meaning). This postulate, pertaining to epistemology, proves to
be of fundamental importance.(more)

“A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.”

Einstein: In His Own Words
After 1915, Albert Einstein continued to rely on his good friend Heinrich Zangger, a professor of forensic medicine in Zurich, to serve as mediator between him and his estranged first wife, Mileva. These three letters to Zangger, published here for the first time, allow us to track Einstein's fitful relationship with his elder son, Hans Albert, and his anxiety about the health on his younger son, Eduard (Tete), whom historians believe was suffering from the early stages of schizophrenia.
